Song Lyrics - Why You Complainin'?

I just heard from another friendSomebody they loved had diedThere’s sadness every time I turn aroundI didn’t know what to say even though I tried

I get tired of all the complainingBy people who have it madeYou’d think they never had a blessingYou’d think they didn’t know they were saved

Why you complainin’When God saved a place for you?Why you complainin’When he’s been so good to you?Why you complainin’You’d think you got no soulWhy you complainin’I just want to knowI just want to know

So you don’t think you make enough moneyWhat about the guy who’s on welfare?You don’t like what your wife served for dinnerWhat about losing her because of no health care?

Maybe we need to stop looking in the mirrorWe don’t seem to change anywayWe’re supposed to judge ourselves Instead we just smile our faults away

Why you complainin’When God left the light on for you?Why you complainin’When his promises are true?Why you complainin’You’d think you got no soulWhy you complainin’I just want to knowI just want to know

A man wants to fly A woman wants to love There is no difference Except one is within and the other above A man flies in silence A woman loves in tears There is no difference Except one never cries and the other never...

I am emotion No matter my wisdom No matter my age A tear in every moment As I have lost my voice Where once I thought of joy Now I have a choice To laugh or cry In the face of pain To see the sun When all I have is...

This was beautiful, but sad. It is so true too. There are so many people suffering and the ones you hear complaining are the ones who usually appear to have it all. Rememebr though, just because it appears perfect doesn't mean that it is. Good Job and Great word usage!

@Kristin - Thank you... this was inspired by the death of my friend's wife; they went through hell with her cancer and then she died. I guess I felt terrible for them and then heard someone at my office complaining about the ice-maker being broke... it kind of made me sick you know?
